Again and Again

They said they failed
They said it's new
They said they didn't get involved
Again and again
They put humpty-dumpty back together

It's all the same
It's all been done
I hate it
I hate it

"Hypocrites! Hypocrites!" the man with one
arm stands and raises his prized possesion
"You're all the same!"
"You feed from each other!"

There is nothing simple about the world
There is nothing final
Death?
Ok, that's final. . .
Maybe

"I love you! I hate you!"
Again and Again
All the same
And all the king's horses, and all the king's men

Violence? You want to protest it? Beautiful.
Good, good, sign here, dotted line
Good, good, yeah, makes no sense, but, ya gotta keep face
"Now I know why you wanna hate. . ."

Bury me! Bury me!
I don't care!
He doesn't care!
But, I do, I do, I do

Again and again
And they put the little egg-man back together
And he will fall, and it will be the same
